Chapter 772 Qin Jiangye guessed

"What if Sui Sui misrepresented it?" Su Zhu guessed.

“No.” Jiang Ruan was very certain about this. “Although Sui Sui is young, he is very meticulous in his work. If Huo Zhizhou mentioned it, he would tell me.”

Su Zhu: "Will Huo Zhizhou try to renege on his promise?"

Jiang Ruan: "It shouldn't be that bad, at most they'll just try to find a loophole."

He won't be too shameless when he says it.

However, they are very good at exploiting loopholes.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have told Sui Sui to tell him before coming, in case he was watching and investigating her, and it was very likely that he would come every time she was resting and not busy.

You have to face it whether you want to or not.

"Seeing you like this puts my mind at ease." Su Zhu felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

In the past, my daughter lived in constant fear.

Today's girls are brave enough to face challenges head-on.

The most important thing is to think about things by weighing the pros and cons, rather than relying solely on emotions.

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

Sui Sui only told Huo Zhizhou Jiang Ruan's original words around noon.

After listening, Huo Zhizhou didn't speak immediately, but was thinking.

"Are you still there?" Sui Sui thought the signal was bad.

Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."

Sui Sui: "Did you hear what I just said?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I heard you."

Sui Sui asked, "Is it okay?"

"Okay." Huo Zhizhou didn't hesitate any longer.

Sui Sui breathed a sigh of relief, but fearing he might change his mind, she emphasized, "Once you've made a promise, you can't go back on it."

Huo Zhizhou remained calm and replied, "Yes."

Sui Sui: "Then I'll hang up."

Huo Zhizhou: "Wait a minute."

Sui Sui: "?"

Huo Zhizhou teased him on purpose: "Today is Sunday. When are the three appointments for this week scheduled?"

Sui Sui: "???"

Sui Sui thinks her dad is shameless.

Without hesitation, he threw a sentence at him: "Not this week, don't even think about it!"

Huo Zhizhou: "Then I'll climb over the wall later."

Sui Sui: "..."

Sui Sui: "Go ahead and flip it if you're not afraid of getting beaten up by Uncle Mo Mo."

He'll build a smart monitoring system for the manor later, and it'll sound an alarm whenever Dad gets close!

"When is dinner scheduled for next week?" Huo Zhizhou stopped teasing him. The thought of seeing Jiang Ruan every week made him feel more at ease and secure than ever before.

"No rush, I'll let you know in advance," Sui Sui said.

Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."

Sui Sui hung up the phone.

Lin Bei and Jiang Yu, who were standing nearby, overheard the conversation.

The former asked curiously, "What if Miss Jiang deliberately chooses a time when she's not home so you can go to her house?"

Huo Zhizhou: "She would do it anyway, no need to ask."

Lin Bei: "Then you went for nothing?"

After all the effort to get three chances, I can only see him once?

Can the BOSS hold back?

You really won't use a VPN?

"The original plan was to meet once a week." Huo Zhizhou was very satisfied with the result. "Being able to visit her home twice and get along well with her family is already a pleasant surprise."

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei subconsciously looked at Jiang Yu.

The latter remained expressionless, clearly aware of his boss's thoughts.

"Your target isn't Miss Jiang?" Lin Bei finally realized.

"You need to pursue someone on multiple fronts at the same time." Huo Zhizhou's target has always been Jiang Ruan, but he is very clear about his current relationship with Jiang Ruan. "If I can't win her over, I can still become a different kind of family member by getting along with Mom and Grandpa."

Lin Bei: "Are you sure Madam Jiang will treat you like family?"

Huo Zhizhou: "It's fine as long as you don't hate me."

Lin Bei thought for a moment.

I just feel that my boss has a long way to go.

Those past events are not only a thorn in Miss Jiang's side, but also in Mrs. Jiang's. It could take anywhere from a year to many years to mend the relationship.

In the following months.

Huo Zhizhou went to Jiang Ruan's place twice a week as agreed. Each time he went, Jiang Ruan was not at home. Sometimes she went to talk to Chi Qian about promoting Lin Tan, and sometimes she went to take care of her own business. Only Jiang An, Grandpa Qin and Sui Sui were at home.

Jiang Ruan told Jiang An and the others about her agreement with Huo Zhizhou, and they didn't interfere. However, Li Zhishen was incredibly jealous after learning about it from Old Master Qin.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Aside from having a family meal with Sui Sui once a week, Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan barely saw each other, but their relationship still improved significantly.

After seeing that he was truly behaving himself, Jiang Ruan's wariness towards him disappeared.

They seemed to have become ordinary friends.

That day.

It happened to be Saturday.

Sui Sui invited Huo Zhizhou out for dinner.

As always, Huo Zhizhou was gentlemanly, polite, and gentle. Upon arriving at the restaurant, he proactively pulled out a chair for Jiang Ruan without saying much, yet without making the atmosphere awkward.

"How about we eat these today?" Huo Zhizhou showed the menu to Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui, selecting flavors that Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui liked.

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

Sui Sui: "Okay."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Jiang Ruan's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was Qin Jiangye calling, Jiang Ruan said she was just going to answer the phone and swiped to answer: "Hello."

"I'm busy," Qin Jiangye replied in his usual irreverent tone.

Jiang Ruan remained calm and composed: "What is it?"

Qin Jiangye: "Don't you know, little cousin?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

What should she know?

Qin Jiangye looked at the stack of marketing materials in front of him, his usual nonchalant attitude unchanged: "Don't tell me that Lin Tan's sudden increase in marketing wasn't done by you."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

He quickly returned to normal: "What marketing?"

“If it’s just the two of us, let’s not hide it.” Qin Jiangye said casually, his tone drawn out. “I had someone investigate, and these marketing campaigns are backed by Chi Qian’s company.”

Jiang Ruan didn't speak.

Qin Jiangye: "If you want to promote Lin Tan, you can tell me. Why let outsiders earn this money? Don't you know your little cousin is short of money?"

Jiang Ruan didn't admit it: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Qin Jiangye: "You met with Chi Qian a few times three months ago, and then Lin Tan's marketing and promotion gradually started. The popularity remained stable for the next two months, but this month the popularity has suddenly shown an upward trend."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

I didn't expect him to be so observant.

“Chi Qian wouldn’t help Lin Tan for no reason, since Lin Tan isn’t an artist in her company,” Qin Jiangye said. “All things considered, someone must have said something to her or asked her for help.”

Jiang Ruan did not answer: "Are you done talking?"

Qin Jiangye continued, "Given your relationship with Lin Tan, you wouldn't be avoiding me to promote her. You're the backbone of our Qin family now; I'd go through fire and water for you if you said the word."

Listening to his nonsensical words, Jiang Ruan didn't want to talk anymore.

"Qin Mo asked you to do it, didn't he?" Qin Jiangye said.

"That's ridiculous." Jiang Ruan said this and then hung up the phone without further ado.

Huo Zhizhou overheard part of the conversation. Although the phone was quiet, he still caught some details: "Qin Mo is praising Lin Tan?"

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

The answer was given in an instant: "I don't know."

Huo Zhizhou was smart; a direct denial would only increase his suspicion.

She hadn't forgotten his relationship with Huo Sinian. If he told Huo Sinian about this, it would very likely ruin Qin Mo's plans.

However, Qin Jiangye is quite clever. No wonder Qin Mo told her that she used to be inferior to Qin Jiangye. She was very careful in handling things, but he still suspected her.
